| GET, HEAD, PUT POST | are the base request commands of the HTTP protocol. This first line would suffice to request the wanted information. |
| REQUEST_METHOD : | GET |
| SERVER_PROTOCOL: | will show which version of HTTP you are using, usually HTTP1.0 or HTTP1.1 |
| HTTP_XROXY_CONNECTION : | usually Keep-Alive |
| HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: | iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 |
| HTTP_REFERER_FROM: | shows the page you came from, where you came from before or the last page you visited before the current one, or if you came from a link. Typed URLs and bookmarks usually result in this variable being left blank. http:\/\/(www\.)?$mydomain\//); |
| HTTP_USER_AGENT : | shows which browser type you are using, your browser version and also the O/S you use |
| HTTP_HOST: | the remote server's name you are accesing |
| SERVER_PORT: | shows the web server's listening port. usually 80, 8080, 3128 (if you are on HTTP) |
| SERVER_SOFTWARE: | the remote server's O/S (Apache/1.2.4 for example) |
| SCRIPT_NAME: | what kind of scripts the remote server is running if any (/cgi-bin/show-http-headers) |
| REMOTE_ADDRESS : or REMOTE_HOST : | will show your IP number, or if you are usign a proxy, it's IP number |
| HTTP_REMOTE_HOST : | will show your host name and address -country, ets |
| IDENT-Lookup: Username: | will show yor PC's name, your operating system: your charset: |
| REMOTE_PORT: | shows the port the remote server uses |
| SERVER_NAME: | the DNS name of the server you are accessing |
| SERVER_ADMIN: | usually the email address of the webmaster |
| HTTP_COOKIE: | If your browser finds a cookie in his cookie file matching the domain of this server it will send it along with every request. This server also tries to set up a cookie in your browser. If this is successfully done, you can see this cookie in your request when RELOADing this page. |
| HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FROM: or HTTP_FORWARDED: | if you use a proxy, it will show here shows where you've been routed from. proxy can forward real ip here, In order to remain anonymous the you DO NOT want your real IP showing, only the proxy's.(trully anon proxies will NOT show HTTP_FORWARDED or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variables, |
| HTTP_FORWARDED : | shows the path you use in connecting to a web server this line shows exactly where you're coming from. reveals proxy used VIA : reveals use of proxy |
| HTTP_VIA : | if you are usign a proxy, the name will show up here |
| HTTP_ACCEPT: | will show what kind of images your browser will accept such as: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */* These are the MIME-types accepted by your browser, sometimes with a quality factorappended. |
| CLIENT_IP : | your IP can be revealed by proxy |
| HTTP_FROM : | sometimes IP proxied from is revealed here, so make sure you look at that option when evaluating how secure a proxy is! |
| ACCEPT-LANGUAGE: or HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: | Here your browser may indicate which languages it prefers. ISO-country-codes are used to accomplish this. So "en" is english, "de" is german, "ru" is russian, etc |
| SCRIPT_NAME: | if the server wil run any scripts like cgi, ets. |
The format of each illustration is comprised of two parts. The first is a print of the ENV variables sent back in a proxy test using Proxomitron (authored by Scott R. Lemmon). In many cases use of the Proxomitron log window during the test reveals what occurs inside the target proxy's configured environment (i.e. its interaction with other sibling or parent proxies within the corporate network).
The second is a print of the relevant headers received by the origin server (resource requested) as revealed in an ENVIRONMENTAL test page such as the one at Junkbuster.
The results of these two tests may be different. This difference should be underscored. Disparity occurs for the following reason. During a proxy test where the IP address of both the requesting client and the recipient of the results of the request are identical, the proxying environment may for some purposes treat the requester as an internal client.
However, when an ENV test page is used, ONLY the variables passed outside the internal network are visible. Internally appended variables may be stripped or reformated under a different header as the request leaves the proxy environment. The requesting browser IP address in this case is different then the IP address of the origin server (requested resource) and thus an ENV test page will mimic the client (browser)-proxy-origin server exchange.
